College Hoops Viewing Guide: December 15, 2013

All TV info is courtesy Matt's College Sports on TV site. He has many more games listed, and you'll also want to check out his listings for information on which ACC and SEC regional contests and CSN, FSN, and Root Sports games (all games listed in these posts marked with an *) are available on which affiliates.

All times are Eastern.

Syracuse Orange (9-0) at St. John's Red Storm (6-2), 12 p.m. (FS1)
'Cuse's final game against an in-state opponent this season is the first of two contests against a former Big East foe. (The Orange host Villanova on December 28th.) Syracuse is the only one of the trio of unbeatens to go on the road today, so it faces the biggest challenge of the three for that reason. However, you know there will be plenty of orange-clad supporters at Madison Square Garden, tempering the Red Storm's advantage somewhat. The Johnnies could certainly use an upset win for their tournament profile, especially with four low-risk home games remaining on their non-conference slate.

La Salle Explorers (5-4) at Villanova Wildcats (9-0), 2 p.m. (FS1)
The Wildcats are looking to move to 3-0 in the Big Five, with their final game in that series -- at Temple -- not coming until February 1st. On the other hand, the Explorers have yet to play a City Series game. Dr. John Giannini's team needs this win badly for at-large purposes, as La Salle's profile is nowhere close to the 2013 squad's version. The A-10 schedule should help that, however.

Western Michigan Broncos (5-3) at Missouri Tigers (9-0), 7 p.m. (ESPNU)
The Tigers should have little trouble moving to 10-0 as they welcome a decent, but certainly not great Bronco team to Mizzou Arena. From the typically irrelevant but always fun Department of the Transitive Results, we see that last time out WMU lost by 16 at a Northwestern team that Missouri handled in Vegas by 11 on Thanksgiving night.
